Mukuni Village, Traditional village and handicraft market near Victoria Falls, Zambia.
Mukuni Village stands on a sandy elevation with traditional houses, where over 8,000 Leya people maintain their everyday customs and practices.
The settlement traces back to the 13th century when Bedyango of the Leya tribe established it under the name Gundu before its renaming in the 17th century.
Local artisans create wooden sculptures, stone objects, jewelry, and woven baskets, selling their crafts directly to visitors in the market area.
The village and market operate daily from 8 AM to 5 PM, with guided tours available that include visits to residential areas and craft workshops.
The village serves as the central point for over 100 surrounding settlements within the Mukuni Chiefdom, which contains twelve schools and four health centers.
